Ghost Rider 2, Red, Prince of Persia: Nov 5th Comic Reel

Screenwriter David S. Goyer tells MTV News the sequel will not reboot the series. “It’s a bit more stripped down and darker. It’s definitely changing tone. What ‘Casino Royale’ was to the Bond movies, hopefully this will be to ‘Ghost Rider’,” says Goyer. Set some eight years after the first film, the writer says, “It doesn’t contradict anything that happened in the first film, but we’re pretending that our audience hasn’t seen the first film.”

Release date: TBA

RED

John C. Reilly and Mary-Louise Parker are in talks to appear in the film, according to the Heat Vision Blog at The Hollywood Reporter. Reiley will play a fellow agent, while Parker will play “a federal pension worker who becomes embroiled in the Willis character’s struggle to stay alive.”

THE AVENGERS

Ain’t It Cool News asks Ed Norton about his interest in the film. The actor is candid: “Things like that to me are always completely dependent on what they make of it. You know what I mean? It’s like anything can be the crappy version of itself or the great version of itself and if it’s the great version of itself, then that’s one thing. If they don’t get it right, then I don’t know, then I think… A lot of it depends on what they come up with.”

Starring Robert Downey Jr., release date: May 4th, 2012

THE HOBBIT

Total Film has an interview with director Guillermo Del Toro about the lengthy pre-production process. Del Toro says the design he is most proud of that is that of the dragon Smaug. “The bulk of the design took about a year, solid. It’s because of the unique features of the dragon,” he says. “Early in production I came up with a very strong idea that would separate Smaug from every other dragon ever made. The problem was implementing that idea. But I think we’ve nailed it.”

Release date: December, 2011

KICK-ASS

Directed by Matthew Vaughan, release date: April 16th, 2010

BY HOOK OR BY CROOK

We want information. I’ve cribbed that line from “The Prisoner” on many occasions. With the new series airing in a couple of weeks, I thought I’d make use of it again. It’s apt because it’s true. If any of you in the great, wide Internet discover something awesome, disheartening, or just plain weird, let us know! Take credit, come up with a clever nickname, or go anonymous. The choice is yours. Fresh rumors and movie news every weekday morning. I am Erik Amaya bracing for the future threat of The Village.
